    Threw an audi­ble on this one after our sched­ule guest called in sick and end­ed up with a rad call. The video for­mat is a square (unusu­al) because I shared Kev­in’s fly­er, which threw off the whole ratio.

    We’re exper­i­ment­ing with a new option for Gris­tle Crüe mem­bers, which is the idea of a Hot­seat ses­sion. In these ses­sions a mem­ber presents their busi­ness idea and back­ground, then the rest of the Crüe will weigh in with ideas, obser­va­tions, and gen­er­al sup­port. Russ vol­un­teered to go first, was inter­est­ing to think through his…
